Building on the foundational knowledge gained in the initial program, our follow-up workshop, "Introduction to Generative AI," offers an engaging four-hour exploration into the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence that creates content. In this hands-on session, you will learn how to use Python API calls to generate text, images, and videos with state-of-the-art generative AI models. The workshop will guide you through practical examples and real-world applications, empowering you to experiment with cutting-edge tools and understand the underlying principles of generative AI. Whether you are curious about how AI can write stories, create artwork, or produce video content, this workshop will provide you with the skills and confidence to start building your own generative AI projects.
Link to a previous workshop on Generative AI that was meant for a general audience (and hence no Python programming required): Generative AI Unleashed: From Basics to Building (Saturday, April 26, 2025, 9:00 AM - noon).
And the first part of today's workshop was conducted a few weeks back and can be found here: AI & Machine Learning Virtual Summer 2025 Workshop Series (June 17-18, 2025)
